The Band & Bugles of Durham ACF
Performed at Durham Cathedral earlier this evening, our day started at 9am. With rehearsals kit & instrument maintenance etc.
When we arrived it was very warm in our Victorian uniforms, we seemed to be waiting for ever.
Then we got the nod, we marched into position, proudly flanking the emergency services & key workers.
We played 3 pieces (on bugle) Prince Consorts Own, Buglers Nocturn. Then the band played Mark Nofflers Coming home.
Before we played Glory to the Heroes, while we were playing I clocked a certain Alan Shearer, which was the cherry on the cake for me.
And I don't mind saying this, we absolutely smashed it. Hoping for fair weather tomorrow, we meet again at 8am. When we return to the Cathedral followed by leading the Parade through Durham.
For those of you parading tomorrow, I wish you all the very best & stay safe.
